MASTERTOP 100

Natural aggregate surface hardener

DESCRIPTION

ESTIMATING DATA
DATA

Mastertop 100 is a pre-mixed, ready to use powder

designed to be applied as a dry shake over freshly floated
concrete floor or floor screed to obtain an aesthetically
pleasing, coloured floor with significant improvement in its
abrasion resistance. The products is based on selected
hard wearing mineral aggregates blended with certain
alkali and light fast colouring pigments and hydraulic
binders. Mastertop 100 is available in various standard
colours. A Light Reflective grade is available to order.

The rate of application will depend on the service

conditions that the floor will be exposed to and the
richness of colour required. The recommended rate is
5kg per m.

RECOMMENDED FOR
Mastertop 100 is recommended for treating floor areas
not exposed to serious chemical attack and where
uniform appearance and enhanced abrasion resistance
are desired. Applications include floor areas of:

Light Industrial and commercial buildings

Basement and cellars

Mechanical workshops

Storage rooms

Corridors, halls

Educational institutions

Parking areas

Loading platforms

FEATURES AND BENEFITS

Uniform and intense colourscolours attractive floors.

Pleasant working environment.
Light and alkalialkali-fast pigmentsigments durable, non-fading
colours.
Good abrasion resistanceresistance minimised maintenance of
floor surface.
Dense surfacesurface increased resistance to ingress of oil
and grease. Easy to clean.

PERFORMANCE DATA
DATA
Abrasion Resistance (ASTM C779)
0.65mm at 60 minutes
(33MPa concrete more than 1.4mm at 60 minutes)
Impact resistance (LA Rattler)
50% weight Loss
(33MPa concrete has 70% loss of weight)
(See Technical Sheet 22 for explanation of abrasion and
impact tests and how they relate to long-term durability of
the floor)
The performance data is typical and based upon
controlled laboratory conditions. Actual performance on
the job site may vary from these values based on actual
site conditions.

APPLICATION
For information about application, please obtain a copy of
the BASF Application Guide for Mastertop 100 from your
local representative.
Preparation of the Concrete
Concrete for single course monolithic floors should be
capable of achieving a 28 day compressive strength of
30MPa with a slump of 80mm or less, and with no more
than 3% air. Concrete should not contain calcium
chloride.
Mastertop 100 is applied as a dry shake over freshly
wooden bullfoated concrete.

COLOURS
Mastertop 100 is available in natural (concrete colour),
light reflective and a range of colours. Please consult your
local
BASF
Construction
Chemicals
technical
representative with regard to minimum order quantities
and lead times for coloured products.

FIELD SERVICE
BASF Construction Chemicals recommends that the user
request the free services of the local representative for a
pre-job conference to carefully place each step of the
installation.

PACKAGING
Mastertop 100 is packaged ready to use in 25kg bags.
No further measuring or mixing or ingredients is required
or permitted at the jobsite.

SHELF LIFE
LIFE
Mastertop 100 can be stored for 18 months.

PRECAUTIONS

Application is strongly recommended to be done after

roofing is completed. ONLY attempt modest size
slabs without a roof.
Do not apply over concrete containing added calcium
chloride.
Do not apply over concrete containing aggregate
contaminated with salt or salt water.
Do not apply over concrete containing more than 3%
entrained air**.

MASTERTOP 100

Use only admixtures in the concrete that are

approved by BASF Construction Chemicals.
Do not use water, burlap or polyethylene covering for
curing. Use only curing compounds approved by
BASF Construction Chemicals.
This product contains cement, which may cause
irritation. Avoid contact with eyes and prolonged
contact with skin.

For the full health and safety hazard information and how
to safely handle and use this product, please make sure
that you obtain a copy of the BASF Construction
Chemicals Material Safety Data Sheet (MSDS)
(MSDS from our
office or our website.

** Higher entrained air contents are often required for

concrete slabs exposed to water saturation and
freeze/thaw cycles. The high air content makes
proper application of dry shakes difficult or
impractical, depending on the dimensions of the
placement and ambient conditions.
